N786TT

This entry documents airframe N786TT, a 2008-built Cessna 560XL Citation XLS with serial number 560-5786, manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation). The airframe is registered in the United States and is registered to HUGHES-NELSON PAINTING INC DBA, based in Pomona, California. The airframe’s documented configuration, basic specification set and current ownership position it as a mid-market super-midsize business jet from the late-2000s production run. Valuation records indicate a market value of $6,300,000, reflecting its model vintage and equipment fit.

The airframe is configured in a typical executive single-aisle club layout accommodating 7–9 passengers in the executive cabin, while the overall certification allows up to 13 seats. Cabin servicing and luggage are supported by an aft baggage compartment of approximately 80 cubic feet. The avionics fit for this airframe is the Honeywell Primus 1000 / Honeywell avionics suite, appropriate for typical corporate mission avionics requirements and regional to transcontinental routing. Typical mission profiles for this Citation XLS airframe include short-to-medium haul business travel and charter operations within a roughly 2,080 nm radius at cruise speeds near 429 kts, with operations up to flight levels near 45,000 ft; maintenance considerations follow Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545B engine program requirements and Honeywell avionics support.

The Cessna 560XL Citation XLS sits in the super-midsize segment as an evolution of the Excel/Excel XLS family, offering a balance of cabin comfort, runway performance and operating economics for owner-operators and charter operators. Competitive models in its era include other super-midsize business jets offering similar transcontinental capability; resale value and demand are influenced by avionics fit (the Honeywell Primus 1000 here), engine type and overall maintenance records. For a 2008 airframe such as 560-5786, prospective buyers and operators typically evaluate time-between-overhaul profiles for the PW545B engines and remaining calendar/landing maintenance cycles when assessing deployment or resale potential.
